Handwriting

We will begin Year 3 by practising how to form letters correctly. It is important that the children are starting and ending in the correct place. We will then teach your child how to join their letters. This includes teaching which letters we join and which letters remain unjoined (see Break letters below).

Break Letters

Letters can join to these letters but they don’t join to another letter: g j y q x

Letter which is never joined to or from another letter: z
